Laurie - good participant feedback, viable business model,
Howie- good combination of pieces for people who can't attend, not enough time to get people really engaged, took some time for the two sites to get engaged,;
add SIG Open house to PeoPLES sessions; No more than 4 sites for VTC workshops; Need one workshop for each 4 sites;
Debren - overall, it was great; hiccups, adam's session, other connections; smooth sailing; didn't feel like such a long day;
Hosts can't be in the same room, but didn't work in the same room; PeoPLES - interview with Emcee; better studio layout and lighting; closer between Ops and Remote ISTE; Debren needed assistant; Headsets and computers in studio; Chairs; More Mac computers; OK to combine virtual workshop and Remote ISTE; Need current version of Schedule/Script
Converting PeoPLES videos were easy; Liked PeoPLES; surveys were mediocre;
Anita McAnear - Videos were fun to do; worked with program chairs; needed microphones for the videos; used iPad and Flip cameras; (Could we use student reports?);
Kecia - Asynch site too lots of hours; Hope to reuse; Liked the On-line part; Frustrated by Howie's presentation (firewall blocked sites); Would like to have VTC and Connect for the group sites;
Mike - PeoPLES Mike was more interested; PeoPLES maybe not useful, but is interesting; Try to learn/teach/deliver some content during the video/live session; Enjoyed it, went wonderful; ISTEVision; commercials; What's going on around the conference;
Filler videos - Possibly use students for videos; compliment PeoPLES; NETS standards; Attendee interviews;
Anita Harris - learned alot for our first year (SIGOL); would like SIGOL to have sessions next year; ISTE needs to work with us in scheduling no other SIG sessions on same day as Remote ISTE; shared in my sessions and attendees thanked me as they had people who could have attended but didn't know about it so we need to work on publicity more for next year; enjoyed creating site but a lot of work; will be great to just have to do updates to it next year! ;-) A special thank you to Mike, Jill and Jennette for all that they did to help make this happen. Thanks also to IVC for networking and collaborating with us on this. Thanks to the rest of you all too as there was lots of planning and tons of work done to schedule such an event and get it all put together. Enjoyed it!

Thought it worked fairly seamlessly. Good response from the teachers. Workshop and keynote were good. Didn't "get" the purpose for the PeoPLES sessions. Used PeoPLES as a break. Having the recordings and archives are a benefit to the participants."Everybody left happy."
